Used on MV4 Cartridges...

PRO-CT0 is an early gate array chip used as:

  • A sprite graphics multiplexer on AES carts and MVS boards, sometimes named ALPHA-8921, later replaced by NEO-ZMC2 and then NEO-CMC.
  • Security device in Super Sidekicks and Fatal Fury 2 AES and MVS cartridges, also named SNK-9201.

The device probably wasn't intended to be used as as security measure at first.

ALPHA-8921 was the original chip name, from when Alpha Denshi used it on their Alpha68k system.

Pinouts

Info by User:Kyuusaku
  • D0~D15: 68k data bus
  • A1~A19: 68k address bus
  • D0out~D7out: output to a LS245 which puts the data on

the 68k bus when /PORTOEL goes low ($200000-$2FFFFF odd byte read).

Use as graphics multiplexer

SNK-9201 chip found in a Super Sidekicks MVS cartridge. Picture courtesy of [MVS-Scans].

Used on PROG-G2 boards. It is found in Fatal Fury 2 and Super Sidekicks only. It was SNK's first attempt at protecting NeoGeo games.

The chip is tied to the 68k address and data bus, listens to word writes and replies on odd addresses in the $200000-$2FFFFF address range.

The game program expects the chip to reply with specific data depending on the values written to it and will freeze if they are wrong.
